Nést Hub and Sling Tv

[Thedmp01]

All of a sudden Sling Tv no longer works on Nest Hub ..anyone else have this issue ?

Yeah the UI button doesn't really work, and with voice, it's a long process to get it to work. Ask it to play, hardly ever works the first time - just shows black with streaming bar UI, then you ask a 2nd time, and sometimes that's it, it works. If not, ask for a 3rd time, or just tell it to stop playing if a 404 error pops up. Then re-start the process. Eventually it'll work... for awhile, then go to black or error, and you can tell it to stop playing. Then re-start the process.

Hi folks,

@Thedmp01, @mwmorgan, that certainly hasn't been easy for you ― let’s check this out.

A few questions: When did it stop working? Is your Google Nest Hub still responding to other commands? How about other video/music platforms? Have you already tried rebooting your devices?

If reboot is done, reinstall your Google Home app or update it to its latest version. Restarting your phone might help. Reboot your WiFi router.

Also, check out this link for additional troubleshooting and information.

Keep us posted.

Best,

Dan

Hello Dan …the hub stopped streaming Sling about a week ago…it now gives the message “sorry I’m unable to help with that” ..I’ve rebooted the hub, unlinked and linked sling, rebooted my router, reset the hub to factory settings, etc etc and have since simply given up. 

Please advise

Home app version is 2.60.108 …nothing I tried has worked

And yes it responds to other commands but won’t open Sling or even Netflix ..seems video/ media functions have stopped working on this device

Hi Thedmp01,

How sad that sling or even Netflix stopped streaming on your Google Nest Hub. Just so we are on the same page, could you verify to me that what you have there is the 1st or 2nd Gen? Click this link for your reference.

Also, it would be very helpful if you could send us a short video. Below are the steps on how to upload a photo or video:
 

1. Start a new post.
2. Click Insert Image.
3. Choose an image source location.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions
5. Also, you can tap the "Drag and Drop" option. Maximum attachment is 5 MB.

I'll be waiting for your response.

Best,

Dan
